Closing in on 50, 9/27/72 Stanley Theater - Jersey City, NJ
Forums:
Has it all, band is of fire September '72 (Baltimore, Philly & Waterbury CT).
Setlist is unreal, one time medley of D Star>Cumberland>Attics is 40 minutes of juice. Birdsong & Brokedown are pure butter.
Attics last played 141 shows prior, on 12/27/70. Played again on 10/28/72, then not until 10/9/89.

I'm still urinated off at my parents for not taking me there for GD shows. We lived literally a few blocks away.
However, I saw "Charlotte's Web" and other cinematic Classics in that venue. Parents let me & older sister walk there unaccompanied for the Matinee presentation. Age 6 or 7.
Later in the course of Business, Jehova Witness cult bought the place.

I was at all 3 shows. They were all amazing. The first two nights I was up front in the orchestra. The last night I was back in the orchestra just under the overhang of the mezzanine. When they opened with Truckin', I remember looking up and seeing the mezzanine moving up and down a good 6 inches to a foot and thinking that this old theater wasn't meant for this and it's going to crash down and kill a lot of us. If memory serves me correctly the Stanley was condemned for structural damages shortly after those shows. Amazing memories. "Oh oh what I want to know, where does the time go?"
